THE SERMON ON THE 
MOUNT 



KING JAMES VERSION 

AND seeing the multi- 
tudes, he went up into 
a mountain : and when 
he was set, his disciples came 
unto him: 

And he opened his mouth, 
and taught them, saying, 

Blessed are the poor in 
spirit: for their's is the king- 
dom of heaven. 

Blessed are they that 
mourn: for they shall be com- 
forted. 

Blessed are the meek: for 
they shall inherit the earth. 

Blessed are they which do 
hunger and thirst after right- 



eousness: for they shall be 
filled. 

Blessed are the merciful: 
for they shall obtain mercy. 

Blessed are the pure in 
heart: for they shall see God. 

Blessed are the peacemak- 
ers : for they shall be called the 
children of God. 

Blessed are they which are 
persecuted for righteousness' 
sake: for their's is the king- 
dom of heaven. 

Blessed are ye, when men 
shall revile you, and persecute 
you, and shall say all manner 
of evil against you falsely, for 
my sake. 

Rejoice, and be exceeding 
glad : for great is your reward 
in heaven: for so persecuted 



I 



m 



they the prophets which were 
before you. 

Ye are the salt of the earth : 
but if the salt have lost his 
savour, wherewith shall it be 
salted? it is thenceforth good 
for nothing, but to be cast out, 
and to be trodden under foot 
of men. 

Ye are the light of the 
world. A city that is set on 
an hill cannot be hid. 

Neither do men light a can- 
dle, and put it under a bushel, 
but on a candlestick; and it 
giveth light unto all that are 
in the house. 

Let your light so shine be- 
fore men, that they may see 
your good works, and glorify 
your Father which is in heaven. 



Think not that I am come 
to destroy the law, or the 
prophets: I am not come to 
destroy, but to fulfil. 

For verily I say unto you, 
Till heaven and earth pass, one 
jot or one tittle shall in no 
wise pass from the law, till all 
be fulfilled. 

Whosoever therefore shall 
break one of these least com- 
mandments, and shall teach 
men so, he shall be called the 
least in the kingdom of 
heaven: but whosoever shall 
do and teach them, the same 
shall be called great in the 
kingdom of heaven. 

For I say unto you, That 
except your righteousness 
shall exceed the righteousness 






of the scribes and Pharisees, 
ye shall in no case enter into 
the kingdom of heaven. 

Ye have heard that it was 
said by them of old time, Thou 
shalt not kill; and whosoever 
shall kill shall be in danger of 
the judgment: 

But I say unto you, That 
whosoever is angry with his 
brother without a cause shall 
be in danger of the judgment: 
and whosoever shall say to his 
brother, Raca, shall be in dan- 
ger of the council: but whoso- 
ever shall say, Thou fool, shall 
be in danger of hell fire. 

Therefore if thou bring thy 
gift to the altar, and there re- 
memberest that thy brother 
hath ought against thee: 



Leave there thy gift before 
the altar, and go thy way; first 
be reconciled to thy brother, 
and then come and offer thy 

gift. 

Agree with thine adversary 
quickly, whiles thou art in the 
way with him ; lest at any time 
the adversary deliver thee to 
the judge, and the judge de- 
liver thee to the officer, and 
thou be cast into prison. 

Verily I say unto thee, 
Thou shalt by no means come 
out thence, till thou hast paid 
the uttermost farthing. 

Ye have heard that it was 
said by them of old time, Thou 
shalt not commit adultery: 

But I say unto you, That 
whosoever looketh on a woman 



to lust after her hath com- 
mitted adultery with her al- 
ready in his heart. 

ml 

And if thy right eye offend 
thee, pluck it out, and cast it 
from thee: for it is profitable 
for thee that one of thy mem- 
bers should perish, and not 
that thy whole body should be 
cast into hell. 

And if thy right hand of- 
fend thee, cut it off and cast it 
from thee: for it is profitable 
for thee that one of thy mem- 
bers should perish, and not 
that thy whole body should be 
cast into hell. 

It hath been said, Whoso- 
ever shall put away his wife, 
let him give her a writing of 
divorcement : 



But I say unto you, That 
whosoever shall put away his 
wife, saving for the cause 
of fornication, causeth her to 
commit adultery: and whoso- 
ever shall marry her that is di- 
vorced committeth adultery. 

Again, ye have heard that it 
hath been said by them of old 
time, Thou shalt not forswear 
thyself, but shalt perform 
unto the Lord thine oaths: 

But I say unto you, Swear 
not at all; neither by heaven; 
for it is God's throne: 

Nor by the earth; for it is 
his footstool : neither by Jeru- 
salem; for it is the city of the 
great King. 

Neither shalt thou swear by 
thy head, because thou canst 



not make one hair white or 
black. 

But let your communication 
be, Yea, yea; Nay, nay; for 
whatsoever is more than these 
cometh of evil. 

Ye have heard that it hath 
been said, An eye for an eye, 
and a tooth for a tooth: 

But I say unto you, That 
ye resist not evil: but whoso- 
ever shall smite thee on thy 
right cheek, turn to him the 
other also. 

And if any man will sue 
thee at the law, and take away 
thy coat, let him have thy 
cloke also. 

And whosoever shall compel 
thee to go a mile, go with him 
twain. 



Give to him that asketh thee, 
and from him that would bor- 
row of thee turn not thou 
away. 

Ye have heard that it hath 
been said. Thou shalt love thv 
neighbour, and hate thine ene- 
my. 

But I say unto you, Love 
your enemies, bless them that 
curse you, do good to them 
that hate you, and pray for 
them which despitefully use 
you, and persecute you ; 

That ye may be the children 
of your Father which is in 
heaven : for he maketh his sun 
to rise on the evil and on the 
good, and sendeth rain on the 
just and on the unjust. 

For if ye love them which 



love you, what reward have 
ye? do not even the publicans 
the same? 

And if ye salute your breth- 
ren only, what do ye more 
than others? do not even the 
publicans so? 

Be ye therefore perfect, 
even as your Father which is 
in heaven is perfect. 

Take heed that ye do not 
your alms before men, to be 
seen of them: otherwise ye 
have no reward of your 
Father which is in heaven. 

Therefore when thou doest 
thine alms, do not sound a 
trumpet before thee, as the 
hypocrites do in the syna- 
gogues and in the streets, that 
they may have glory of men. 








Verily I say unto you, They 
have their reward. 

But when thou doest alms, 
let not thy left hand know 
what thy right hand doeth: 

That thine alms may be in 
secret: and thy Father which 
seeth in secret himself shall re- 
ward thee openly. 

And when thou prayest, 
thou shalt not be as the hypo- 
crites are: for they love to 
pray standing in the syna- 
gogues and in the corners of 
the streets, that they may be 
seen of men. Verily I say unto 
you, They have their reward. 

But thou, when thou pray- 
est, enter into thy closet, and 
when thou hast shut thy door, 
pray to thy Father which 



is in secret; and thy Father 
which seeth in secret shall re- 
ward thee openly. 

But when ye pray, use not 
vain repetitions, as the heathen 
do: for they think that they 
shall be heard for their much 
speaking. 

Be not ye therefore like 
unto them: for your Father 
knoweth what things ye have 
need of, before ye ask him. 

After this manner therefore 
pray ye : Our Father which art 
in heaven, Hallowed be thy 
name. 

Thy kingdom come. Thy 
will be done in earth, as it is 
in heaven. 

Give us this day our daily 
bread. 



And forgive us our debts, as 
we forgive our debtors. 

And lead us not into temp- 
tation, but deliver us from 
evil : For thine is the kingdom, 
and the power, and the glory 
for ever. Amen. 

For if you forgive men 
their trespasses, your heavenly 
Father will also forgive you : 

But if ye forgive not men 
their trespasses, neither will 
your Father forgive your tres- 
passes. 

Moreover when ye fast, be 
not, as the hypocrites, of a sad 
countenance; for they disfig- 
ure their faces, that they may 
appear unto men to fast. 
Verily I say unto you, They 
have their reward. 



But thou, when thou fast- 
est, anoint thine head, and 
wash thy face; 

That thou appear not unto 
men to fast, but unto thy 
Father which is in secret : and 
thy Father, which seeth in se- 
cret, shall reward thee openly. 

Lay not up for yourselves 
treasures upon earth, where 
moth and rust doth corrupt, 
and where thieves break 
through and steal: 

But lay up for yourselves 
treasures in heaven, where 
neither moth nor rust doth 
corrupt, and where thieves do 
not break through nor steal: 

For where your treasure is, 
there will your heart be also. 

The light of the body is the 




eye: if therefore thine eye be 
single, thy whole body shall 
be full of light. 

But if thine eye be evil, thy 
whole body shall be full of 
darkness. If therefore the 
light that is in thee be dark- 
ness, how great is that dark- 
ness! 

No man can serve two mas- 
ters : for either he will hate the 
one, and love the other ; or else 
he will hold to the one, and 
despise the other. Ye cannot 
serve God and mammon. 

Therefore I say unto you, 
Take no thought for your life, 
what ye shall eat, or what ye 
shall drink; nor yet for your 
body, what ye shall put on. Is 
not the life more than meat, 



and the body than raiment? 
Behold the fowls of the air: 
for they sow not, neither do 
they reap, nor gather into 
barns; yet your heavenly 
Father feedeth them. Are ye 
not much better than they? 

Which of you by taking 
thought can add one cubit 
unto his stature? 

And why take ye thought 
for raiment? Consider the 
lilies of the field, how they 
grow ; they toil not, neither do 
they spin : 

And yet I say unto you, 
That even Solomon in all his 
glory was not arrayed like one 
of these. 

Wherefore, if God so clothe 
the grass of the field, which to 



day is, and to morrow is cast 
into the oven, shall he not 
much more clothe you, O ye 
of little faith? 

Therefore take no thought, 
saying, What shall we eat? 
or, What shall we drink? 
or, Wherewithal shall we be 
clothed? 

(For after all these things 
do the Gentiles seek:) for your 
heavenly Father knoweth that 
ye have need of all these 
things. 

But seek ye first the king- 
dom of God, and his righteous- 
ness ; and all these things shall 
be added unto you. 

Take therefore no thought 
for the morrow: for the mor- 
row shall take thought for the 



things of itself. Sufficient 
unto the day is the evil there- 
of. 

Judge not, that ye be not 
judged. For with what judg- 
ment ye judge, ye shall be 
judged: and with what meas- 
ure ye mete, it shall be meas- 
ured to you again. 

And why beholdest thou the 
mote that is in thy brother's 
eye, but considerest not the 
beam that is in thine own eye? 

Or how wilt thou say to thy 
brother, Let me pull out the 
mote out of thine eye ; and, be- 
hold, a beam is in thine own 
eye? 

Thou hypocrite, first cast 
out the beam out of thine own 
eye; and then shalt thou see 



clearly to cast out the mote out 
of thy brother's eye. 

Give not that which is holy 
unto the dogs, neither cast ye 
your pearls before swine, lest 
they trample them under their 
feet, and turn again and rend 
you. 

Ask, and it shall be given 
you; seek, and ye shall find; 
knock, and it shall be opened 
unto you: 

For every one that asketh 
receiveth; and he that seeketh 
findeth; and to him that 
knocketh it shall be opened. 

Or what man is there of you, 
whom if his son ask bread, will 
he give him a stone? 

Or if he ask a fish, will he 
give him a serpent? 



If ye then, being evil, know 
how to give good gifts unto 
your children, how much more 
shall your Father which is in 
heaven give good things to 
them that ask him? 

Therefore all things whatso- 
ever ye would that men should 
do to you, do ye even so to 
them: for this is the law and 
the prophets. 

Enter ye in at the strait 
gate : for wide is the gate, and 
broad is the way, that leadeth 
to destruction, and many there 
be which go in thereat : 

Because strait is the gate, 
and narrow is the way, which 
leadeth unto life, and few 
there be that find it. 

Beware of false prophets, 



which come to you in sheep's 
clothing, but inwardly they are 
ravening wolves. 

Ye shall know them by their 
fruits. Do men gather grapes 
of thorns, or figs of thistles? 

Even so every good tree 
bringeth forth good fruit; but 
a corrupt tree bringeth forth 
evil fruit. 

A good tree cannot bring 
forth evil fruit, neither can a 
corrupt tree bring forth good 
fruit. 

Every tree that bringeth not 
forth good fruit is hewn down, 
and cast into the fire. 

Wherefore by their fruits ye 
shall know them. 

Not every one that saith 
unto me, Lord, Lord, shall 






enter into the kingdom of 
heaven; but he that doeth the 
will of my Father which is in 
heaven. 

Many will say to me in that 
day, Lord, Lord, have we not 
prophesied in thy name? and 
in thy name have cast out 
devils? and in thy name done 
many wonderful works? 

And then will I profess un- 
to them, I never knew you: 
depart from me, ye that work 
iniquity. 

Therefore whosoever hear- 
eth these sayings of mine, and 
doeth them, I will liken him 
unto a wise man, which built 
his house upon a rock : 

And the rain descended, and 
the floods came, and the winds 



blew, and beat upon that 
house; and it fell not: for it 
was founded upon a rock. 

And every one that heareth 
these sayings of mine, and 
doeth them not, shall be lik- 
ened unto a foolish man, 
which built his house upon the 
sand: 

And the rain descended, and 
the floods came, and the winds 
blew, and beat upon that 
house; and it fell: and great 
was the fall of it. 

And it came to pass, when 
Jesus had ended these sayings, 
the people were astonished at 
his doctrine: 

For he taught them as one 
having authority, and not as 
the scribes.

AND seeing the multi-

opened his mouth and taught 
them, saying, 

Blessed are the poor in

Blessed are the meek: for 
they shall inherit the earth. 

Blessed are they that hun-

ness: for they shall be filled. 

Blessed are the merciful : for 
they shall obtain mercy. 

Blessed are the pure in 
heart: for they shall see God. 

Blessed are the peacemak- 
ers: for they shall be called 
sons of God. 

Blessed are they that have 
been persecuted for righteous- 
ness 9 sake: for theirs is the 
kingdom of heaven. 

Blessed are ye when men 
shall reproach you, and perse- 
cute you, and say all manner 
of evil against you falsely, for 
my sake. Rejoice, and be 
exceeding glad: for great is 
your reward in heaven: for so 
persecuted they the prophets 
that were before you. 




II 



§1 




Ye are the salt of the earth: 
but if the salt have lost its 
savor, wherewith shall it be 
salted? it is thenceforth good 
for nothing, but to be cast out 
and trodden under foot of 
men. Ye are the light of the 
world. A city set on a hill can- 
not be hid. Neither do men 
light a lamp, and put it under 
the bushel, but on the stand; 
and it shineth unto all that are 
in the house. Even so let your 
light shine before men; that 
they may see your good works, 
and glorify your Father who 
is in heaven. 

Think not that I came to de- 
stroy the law or the prophets : 
I came not to destroy, but to 
fulfil. For verily I say unto 



<ss^£^^ 





you, Till heaven and earth 
pass away, one jot or one tittle 
shall in no wise pass away 
from the law, till all things 
be accomplished. Whosoever 
therefore shall break one of 
these least commandments, 
and shall teach men so, shall 
be called least in the kingdom 
of heaven : but whosoever shall 
do and teach them, he shall be 
called great in the kingdom of 
heaven. For I say unto you, 
that except your righteousness 
shall exceed the righteousness 
of the scribes and Pharisees, 
ye shall in no wise enter into 
the kingdom of heaven. 

Ye have heard that it was 
said to them of old time, Thou 
shalt not kill: and whosoever 



shall kill shall be in danger of 
the judgment: but I say unto 
you, that every one who is an- 
gry with his brother shall be 
in danger of the judgment; 
and whosoever shall say to his 
brother, Raca, shall be in dan- 
ger of the council ; and whoso- 
ever shall say, Thou fool, shall 
be in danger of the hell of fire. 
If therefore thou art offering 
thy gift at the altar, and there 
rememberest that thy brother 
hath aught against thee, leave 
there thy gift before the altar, 
and go thy way, first be recon- 
ciled to thy brother, and then 
come and offer thy gift. Agree 
with thine adversary quickly, 
while thou art with him in the 
way; lest haply the adversary 



deliver thee to the judge, and 
the judge deliver thee to the 
officer, and thou be cast into 
prison. Verily I say unto 
thee, Thou shalt by no means 
come out thence, till thou have 
paid the last farthing. 

Ye have heard that it was 
said, Thou shalt not commit 
adultery: but I say unto you, 
that every one that looketh on 
a woman to lust after her hath 
committed adultery with her 
already in his heart. And if 
thy right eye causeth thee to 
stumble, pluck it out, and cast 
it from thee: for it is profitable 
for thee that one of thy mem- 
bers should perish, and not thy 
whole body be cast into hell. 
And if thy right hand causeth 



1 



1 



thee to stumble, cut it off, and 
cast it from thee: for it is 
profitable for thee that one of 
thy members should perish, 
and not thy whole body go into 
hell. It was said also, Who- 
soever shall put away his wife, 
let him give her a writing of 
divorcement: but I say unto 
you, that every one that 
putteth away his wife, saving 
for the cause of fornication, 
maketh her an adulteress : and 
whosoever shall marry her 
when she is put away commit- 
teth adultery. 

Again, ye have heard that it 
w r as said to them of old time, 
Thou shalt not forswear thy- 
self, but shalt perform unto 
the Lord thine oaths : but I say 



unto you, Swear not at all; 
neither by the heaven, for it 
is the throne of God; nor by 
the earth, for it is the footstool 
of his feet; nor by Jerusalem, 
for it is the city of the great 
King. Neither shalt thou 
swear by thy head, for thou 
canst not make one hair white 
or black. But let your speech 
be, Yea, yea; Nay, nay: and 
whatsoever is more than these 
is of the evil one. 

Ye have heard that it was 
said, An eye for an eye, and 
a tooth for a tooth: but I say 
unto vou, Resist not him that 
is evil; but whosoever smiteth 
thee on thy right cheek, turn 
to him the other also. And 
if any man would go to law 



v*Z 



with thee, and take away thy 
coat, let him have thy cloak 
also. And whosoever shall 
compel thee to go one mile, go 
with him two. Give to him 
that asketh thee, and from him 
that would borrow of thee turn 
not thou away. 

Ye have heard that it was 
said, Thou shalt love thy 
neighbor, and hate thine ene- 
my : but I say unto you, Love 
your enemies, and pray for 
them that persecute you; that 
ye mav be sons of vour Father 
who is in heaven: for he mak- 
eth his sun to rise on the evil 
and the good, and sendeth rain 
on the just and the unjust. 
For if ye love them that love 
you, what reward have ye? do 



not even the publicans the 
same? And if ye salute your 
brethren only, what do ye 
more than others? do not even 
the Gentiles the same? Ye 
therefore shall be perfect, as 
your heavenly Father is per- 
fect. 

Take heed that ye do not 
your righteousness before men, 
to be seen of them : else ye have 
no reward with your Father 
who is in heaven. 

When therefore thou doest 
alms, sound not a trumpet be- 
fore thee, as the hypocrites do 
in the synagogues and in the 
streets, that they may have 
glory of men. Verily I say 
unto you, They have received 
their reward. But when thou 



doest alms, let not thy left 
hand know what thy right 
hand doeth: that thine alms 
may be in secret: and thy 
Father who seeth in secret 
shall recompense thee. 

And when ye pray, ye shall 
not be as the hypocrites: for 
they love to stand and pray in 
the synagogues and in the cor- 
ners of the streets, that they 
may be seen of men. Verily I 
say unto you, They have re- 
ceived their reward. But thou, 
when thou prayest enter into 
thine inner chamber, and hav- 
ing shut thy door, pray to thy 
Father who is in secret, and 
thy Father who seeth in secret 
shall recompense thee. And 
in praying use not vain repeti- 



ions, as the Gentiles do: for 
they think that they shall be 
heard for their much speaking. 
Be not therefore like unto 
them: for your Father know- 
eth what things ye have need 
of, before ye ask him. After 
this manner therefore pray ye : 
Our Father who art in heaven, 
Hallowed be thy name. Thy 
kingdom come. Thy will be 
done, as in heaven, so on earth. 
Give us this day our daily 
bread. And forgive us our 
debts, as we also have forgiven 
our debtors. And bring us not 
into temptation, but deliver us 
from the evil one. For if ye 
forgive men their trespasses, 
your heavenly Father will also 
forgive you. But if you for- 



ggw 


{fit .' ' : -' ■ 






give not men their trespasses, 
neither will your Father for- 
give your trespasses. 

Moreover when ye fast, be 
not, as the hypocrites, of a sad 
countenance: for they disfig- 
ure their faces, that they may 
be seen of men to fast. Verily 
I say unto you, They have re- 
ceived their reward. But 
thou, when thou fastest, anoint 
thy head, and wash thy face; 
that thou be not seen of men 
to fast, but of thy Father who 
is in secret: and thy Father, 
who seeth in secret, shall 
recompense thee. 

Lay not up for your selves 
treasures upon the earth, where 
moth and rust consume, and 
where thieves break through 



and steal : but lay up for your- 
selves treasures in heaven, 
where neither moth nor rust 
doth consume, and where 
thieves do not break through 
nor steal : for where thy treas- 
ure is, there will thy heart be 
also. The lamp of the body is 
the eye: if therefore thine eye 
be single, thy whole body shall 
be full of light. But if thine 
eye be evil, thy whole body 
shall be full of darkness. If 
therefore the light that is in 
thee be darkness, how great is 
the darkness! No man can 
serve two masters: for either 
he will hate the one, and love 
the other; or else he will hold 
to one, and despise the other. 
Ye cannot serve God and 



mammon. Therefore I say un- 
to you, Be not anxious for 
your life, what ye shall eat, or 
what ye shall drink ; nor yet of 
your body, what ye shall put 
on. Is not the life more 
than the food, and the body 
than the raiment? Behold the 
birds of the heaven, that they 
sow not, neither do they reap, 
nor gather into barns; and 
your heavenly Father f eedeth 
them. Are not ye of much 
more value than they? And 
which of you by being anxious 
can add one cubit unto the 
measure of his life? And why 
are ye anxious concerning rai- 
ment? Consider the lilies of 
the field, how they grow; they 
toil not, neither do they spin: 



yet I say unto you, that even 
Solomon in all his glory was 
not arrayed like one of these. 
But if God doth so clothe the 
grass of the field, which to-day 
is, and to-morrow is cast into 
the oven, shall he not much 
more clothe you, O ye of little 
faith? Be not therefore anx- 
ious, saying, What shall we 
eat? or, What shall we drink? 
or, Wherewithal shall we be 
clothed? For after all these 
things do the Gentiles seek; 
for your heavenly Father 
knoweth that ye have need of 
all these things. But seek ye 
first his kingdom, and his 
righteousness; and all these 
things shall be added unto 
you. Be not therefore anx- 



ious for the morrow: for the 
morrow will be anxious for it- 
self. Sufficient unto the day 
is the evil thereof. 

Judge not, that ye be not 
judged. For with what judg- 
ment ye judge, ye shall be 
judged: and with what meas- 
ure ye mete, it shall be meas- 
ured unto you. And why be- 
holdest thou the mote that is 
in thy brother's eye, but con- 
siderest not the beam that is 
in thine own eye ? Or how wilt 
thou say to thy brother, Let 
me cast out the mote out of 
thine eye; and lo, the beam is 
in thine own eye ? Thou hypo- 
crite, cast out first the beam 
out of thine own eye ; and then 
shalt thou see clearly to cast 




out the mote out of thy broth- 
er's eve.

Give not that which is holv 

%> 

unto the dogs, neither cast 
your pearls before the swine, 
lest haply they trample them 
under their feet, and turn and 
rend you. 

Ask, and it shall be given 
you; seek, and ye shall find; 
knock, and it shall be opened 
unto you: for every one that 
asketh receiveth; and he that 
seeketh findeth; and to him 
that knocketh it shall be 
opened. Or what man is there 
of you, who, if his son shall 
ask him for a loaf, will give 
him a stone ; or if he shall ask 
for a fish, will give him a ser- 
pent? If ye then, being evil, 



know how to give good gifts 
unto your children, how much 
more shall your Father who 
is in heaven give good things 
to them that ask him? All 
things therefore whatsoever ye 
would that men should do un- 
to you, even so do ye also unto 
them: for this is the law and 
the prophets. 

Enter ye in by the narrow 
gate : for wide is the gate, and 
broad is the way, that leadeth 
to destruction, and many are 
they that enter in thereby. 
For narrow is the gate, and 
straitened the way, that lead- 
eth unto life, and few are they 
that find it. 

Beware of false prophets, 
who come to you in sheep's 



clothing, but inwardly are rav- 
ening wolves. By their fruits 
ye shall know them. Do men 
gather grapes of thorns, or 
figs of thistles? Even so every 
good tree bringeth forth good 
fruit; but the corrupt tree 
bringeth forth evil fruit. A 
good tree cannot bring forth 
evil fruit, neither can a corrupt 
tree bring forth good fruit. 
Every tree that bringeth not 
forth good fruit is hewn down, 
and cast into the fire. There- 
fore by their fruits ye shall 
know them. Not every one 
that saith unto me, Lord, 
Lord, shall enter into the king- 
dom of heaven; but he that 
doeth the will of my Father 
who is in heaven. Many will 



say to me in that day, Lord, 
Lord, did we not prophesy by 
thy name, and by thy name 
cast out demons, and by thy 
name do many mighty works? 
And then will I profess unto 
them, I never knew you: de- 
part from me, ye that work 
iniquity. 

Every one therefore that 
heareth these words of mine, 
and doeth them, shall be lik- 
ened unto a wise man, who 
built his house upon the rock: 
and the rain descended, and 
the floods came, and the winds 
blew, and beat upon that 
house; and it fell not: for it 
was founded upon the rock. 
And every one that heareth 
these words of mine, and doeth 



them not, shall be likened un- 
to a foolish man, who built his 
house upon the sand: and the 
rain descended, and the floods 
came, and the winds blew, and 
smote upon that house; and it 
fell: and great was the fall 
thereof. 

And it came to pass, when 
Jesus had finished these words, 
the multitudes were astonished 
at his teaching: for he taught 
them as one having authority, 
and not as their scribes.
